Weekly Weigh-in

Weight: 308 lbs
Weight change this week: - 4 lb
Total Loss: 152 lbs
Dress Size: hovering between a 26 and 24 (depends on the type of clothes)

Woo yeah!!! I've broken the 150lb mark! I can't believe it... 8 lbs away from never having a 3 in front of my weight again! Also, here's a recent photo of me. Astounding changes, my friends. I finally see a pretty face emerge. :)

Shamefully lax in posting

I realize I hardly ever post on this blog. I think it comes from a general lack of creativity on my part. I can never think of anything to write. So here's my idea.

Every Saturday I'm going to post a "Weekly Weigh-In" since Saturday mornings are when I check my weight each week. Hopefully that will get me posting more regularly. So here's the stats so far:

Weight: 312 lbs
Weight change this week: - 1 lb
Total Loss: 148 lbs
Dress Size: hovering between a 26 and 24 (depends on the type of clothes)

And we're at 143 lbs gone

Perspective

I've lost 118 lbs. It's kind of hard to conceptualize that much weight loss. Here's a photo to help:

See that girl? I've lost HER!

A Very Bariatric Christmas

Christmas this year was pretty damned awesome. Also it was the first time my Christmas stocking wasn't FULL of chocolate and candy. And you know what? That was fine by me!

Aside from lots of lovely gifts from my friends and parents, I also got the best gift I could have ever imagined. I was getting out of the shower and looked at my nude body in the full length mirror. I then realized that, while I'm not happy with my body, I am no longer disgusted by it. I couldn't believe that I was looking at myself (and trust me, I'm still all lumpy and saggy and not at all good looking naked) and I wasn't cringing or thinking of how much I hated what I saw. I realized just how amazing our bodies really are. I weighed early this morning and found that I have lost 111 lbs!

And for tonight, I made a nice little Bariatric friendly dinner. It's a half of a chicken breast, rubbed with ranch dressing mix. Then wrapped with bacon and cheese and baked. Also made myself a small side of mushrooms sauteed in butter. Yep, I sure do suffer with my new diet. :)
